Our Take
Our Take
In the fickle world of music, there are those artists who shine brightly for a brief moment before fading into obscurity. Marv Johnson, however, is not one of those artists. With the release of "You Got What It Takes - The Complete Singles & Albums 1958-62," Johnson proves that his music is as timeless as ever.
From the moment you press play, you are transported back to a time when doo-wop and soul ruled the airwaves. Johnson's smooth vocals and catchy melodies grab your attention from the get-go, making it impossible not to tap your feet along to the beat.
Highlights from the album include the title track "You Got What It Takes," which showcases Johnson's incredible range and knack for writing catchy hooks. Tracks like "Come to Me" and "I Love the Way You Love" also stand out for their timeless appeal and infectious energy.
Despite being released over 60 years ago, the music on this album feels fresh and relevant. Johnson's unique blend of doo-wop, soul, and pop is a breath of fresh air in today's music landscape, reminding us that good music is truly timeless.
So, whether you're a die-hard fan of old-school soul or just looking to expand your musical horizons, "You Got What It Takes - The Complete Singles & Albums 1958-62" is definitely worth a listen. Marv Johnson may have been ahead of his time, but his music is still as relevant as ever.
